Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary characteristic of the no-slip boundary condition?

  • A. Fluid particles move faster than the surface velocity
  • B. Fluid velocity at the boundary is zero for stationary surfaces
  • C. Fluid velocity varies uniformly across the layer

💡 Hint: Think about what happens right at the surface.

Question 2

True or False: The Reynolds number indicates whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how it relates to flow stability.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid flows with a velocity of 4 m/s over a flat plate of length 2 m. Calculate the Reynolds number at the leading edge assuming a kinematic viscosity of 0.002 m²/s.

💡 Hint: Consider that at the leading edge, x is zero.

Question 2

Discuss how variations in temperature can affect the viscosity of a fluid and subsequently the Reynolds number.

💡 Hint: Think about how heating affects fluid flows.
